  • I have the ..chevy sonic lt..and its a great car...its has a phone..gps..power windows..bluetooth...cd...its a great car love it...

  • I gots to have this car.

  • dude you should do every review on every car

  • Fords are weak cars.

  • Ferrari Doesn't have Remote start.

  • Best Review thanks

  • Do you think this simple car? And we will pay that Brazilian R$ 60,000.00 (US$ 34,610.00) for this car

  • @brunopasetto wow! =o i would never pay that for this kind of car, i could get a fully loaded mustang or camaro for that! are all cars in brazil expensive or is it only American cars?

  • Key features you forgot to mention include the 5 star safety ratings across the board, rear seat airbags and driver and front passenger knee airbags, USB port and Bluetooth standard on the LTZ.

  • Cruze = sexier, bigger, and better mpg than sonic but still a cool little car

  • I am so impressed with your detailed videos. So glad I found your channel

  • so cute

  • nice review. :)

  • Sounds ugly?

  • 2:25 the engine is just ugly

  • Would someone that's 5'7" fit the driver seat with some space left over? Thanks. Nice car but I heard there missing brake pads

  • you copy saabkyle04

  • Amazing Review! I was looking at this car, and the 2012 nissan versa. Which would you recommend? Im an 18 year old freshman in college. also, if you start the car by the buttons on the key, do you have to put the key in the ignition and crank it?? thanks

  • @JmanXmvs I have a review on the 2012 Nissan Versa 1.6 SV as well as this. If you go to my channel, and search through my videos, then you will find it in there.

  • @GrandPrixGTP02 Thanks :)

    

  • @JmanXmvs When using remote start. Put the key in and turn to On after using remote start

  • @JmanXmvs I'm a 19-year-old college Freshman as well! I have my heart set on the Cruze, which is what I recommend you look at. However, this car is pretty nice as well!!! The other cars I've considered are the Civic, Corolla, Mazda 3, and Jetta, but I still think I'm going to get the Cruze. Best of luck!

  • @JmanXmvs Oh, I also considered the Focus and Elantra, but I still want the Cruze! :)

  • @JmanXmvs i own the 2012 Sonic I am also a freshman in college its a great car lots of room my ex had a versa and personally i like my sonic better and yes you do need to put the key into the car and crank it to turn it on i highly recommend this car to anyone looking to get an affordable fun car to drive

  • @JmanXmvs the versa is much more suited to a girls taste honestly. the sonic is higher quality though.

  • AVEO

    

  • oh .new recall ,brake pads may be missing, please GM bring back the cavalier .

  • Hahaha

  • 2 years ago I would've been interested in this car, but not now. As much as possible I avoid anything built by union members.

  • ofcourse guetta would be on the radio

  • So not to worry FORD is the only true American Built car maker. They have announce they are going to make all their vehicles here in the states as of Jan 1st 2012. While GM major parts such as engines and transmissions will still be made over seas..GM is not longer a true American car maker.. Engine made in Korea and Transmission made in Austria. Like how GM gives jobs to over seas people and not us Americans.

  • @soyntgo4it Oh Fords engines are built in mexico and their proud mustang transmissions are made in china..they made be assembled in america but the parts arnt made in america..Ford will never truely make everything in the usa especially when they consider them selves to be a world wide company. So dont fool yourself until you see it with your own eyes.

  • @pranksterDoug First Ford transmissions are not longer made in China the Contract is over with as of Jan 1st 2012 so STFU on that.. They are also are opening up 8 more assembly plants they currently just open 3 of them now. Don't comment if you don't know shit on whats going on with Ford ok cause you don't know shit. Go buy your POS GM product. Ford Engines are not Built in Mexico everything is now built in the USA JAN 1ST 2012 AGAIN STFU. Next time watch and read articles..

  • Best review 

  • Best review I ever seen two thumbs up

  • Comment removed

  • Is this the 1LZ or 2LZ?

  • That's Chevrolet's Mini Cooper!

  • Because of your Chevy Sonic presentation...I am sold and will buy a Chevy Sonic. If I were closer to your dealership I'd give u the business. Thank you....your boss needs to give you a raise.

  • Wow!!! You're excellent at originality!!!! Your video reviews are so unique it's crazy.

  • Forgot to add, overall I love it. its perfect inside. I mean its not like im going to be looking over head of my car from the air like in GTA. The biggest in my opinion is the rear end thats all, the biggest drawback and only!

  • Honestly the best feature if this car is the whole front face. Im not even lying, but I wish they had a different idea design for the rear end!

  • Only driver side automatic windows!!? WTF If im paying thousands of dollars you better make ALL windows automatic! Like fuck you Chevy!!

  • in wich model does comes with leather seats?

  • Get the 1.4 Turbo...no timing belt...it has a chain. Been getting almost 30 city without trying. Over 40 hwy...not broken in yet either.

    It is SO quiet inside and takes bumps so well ! More room inside than new Focus.

    Went to look at Cruze....and bought a Sonic/Turbo/Hatch/6-speed manual ; )

  • Bautiful

  • The interior looks better than my 2010 Honda Civic. The only reason I bought another Civic(had a 2004, traded it in for a 2010) was because of the excellent reliability. The exterior I can live with on the Civic, but I really had to try and accept the interior. The digital instrumental panel here on the Sonic is focused in one area..the usual area of a car. The Civic split instrument panel is ugly and dumb...and the interior is cheap plastic that scratches easy.

  • "Once proud Chevrolet Aveo!" Now that is a joke.

  • this kickout my Tiida (Versa) 2011 (o.0)

  • Once PROUD AVEO?!

  • Wow, you're real cute!

  • I have 2010 ford focus sel i love it but this car is niiiice!!! It looks like the impala's lil brother. I'm glad they did away with the Aveo that car was just something to save on gas and get around but this car might take chevy to the top

  • i love your revie :=)

  • ...I JUST GOT THIS CAR...BUT THE CHEVY SONIC LT....AND IT HAS ALMOST EVERYTHING IT SHOWS ON THIS CAR....THE 2LT ITS THE CHEAPEST..AINT GOT NOTHING....ITS JUST PLANE....BUT ITS A GOOD CAR...ITS FAST...AND..GREAT ON GAS....I LIKE IT AM HAPPY...

  • Wow easy to use radio and AC controls again! Jump in any import rental car and you can't figure out the insane about of controls. You should be able to jump in any car you aren't familiar with and figure out the A/C in less than 15 seconds. Gas cap door on the wrong side to annoy US buyers.

  • @ejeepin gas cap is on the right side so you can be able to open your door without hitting the pump or the annoying metal bars they throw around.

  • Kinda reminds me of SaabKyle... almost as good

  • ECHO TEC LMAO!!!!

  • it looks like a ant eater

  • that thing looks gay

  • sharp car. would consider, but that back end on the Sedan is SO hideous! why does it have larger tail lights than the Impala?

  • Does the manual version come with remote start?

  • @GunsOfThePhoenix typically manuals will not be offerered with a remote start as vehicle may possibly be parked in first gear. so i really doubt manual Sonic would be offered with a remote start.

    I"m glad to see this feature becoming more common.

  • You forgot to show us the other globe box with the aux port inside of it, was hoping to see a hatchback variant review as well mate. Great review and thanks.

  • "once proud Chevrolet Aveo"???

  • O Chevrolet Sonic ficou Show de bola o carro é maravilhoso gostaria muito de ter um, mas infelizmente não posso pois não tenho grana pra comprar um desse e o pior é que aqui no Brasil ainda não tem nem nas ruas para poder adimira-lo mais de perto. Parabéns Chevrolet pelo maravilhoso carro.

  • very very nice features

  • Estupenda presentación, muy completa y detallada.... nos hemos comprado un aveo (sonic) y nos lo entregan la semana que viene..... esperamos que la eleccion haya sido acertada.... Saludos desde Madrid ( España )

  • I will buy a sonic anyday over a chinese made fiesta. Guys, the more cars we buy from GM, Ford, and Chrysler/Dodge means that the money is largely kept in the USA for research and developement. Buy american, preferably american built. My parents bought me a mitsubishi, but the day i buy my first car it will be built in America

  • @JohnDPearson90 I'd rather buyToyota. They have lots of plants in the US.

  • @setsallset Hey man, all props for toyota, they build many trucks and cars here, but anything over 30,000 is most likely built overseas. just know their car reliability is slowing down and american cars are getting better very quickly, test drive one from ford or chevy, hell even dodge is doing better (i would not buy one yet). But if toyota puts your mind at ease, buy one, they are good cars

  • @JohnDPearson90 I have seen the reliability issue these last few years but I'd rather buy into a company that actually cares about Americans. One of my biggest gripe against GM (Government Motors), other than the EV1 issue, is that they plan to use half a billion dollars of taxpayers money to build a plant in MEXICO. Yeah... Bailout money well spent.. I have no big issue with Chevy though.

  • I'm not digging the instrument cluster

  • Definitely looks to be much improved over the outgoing Aveo. Just curious, is there no water temp gauge for the instrument panel? How would one be able to tell if the car is about to overheat if a thermostat or radiator fails in the future?

  • The interior is sexy

  • lets see if ford can make there cars as good as this nice and simple

  • what an ugly POS

  • @marabdl1986 umadbro?

  • Cars are so damn top heavy nowadays! They are getting shorter and taller so that women have more room for their fancy hats and groceries.

  • The more I look at this car, the more I become impressed with it! For a while, I was eyeing the Chevy Cruze and the Ford Focus (2011), which are both very intriguing. But, all I can think about lately is this darn Sonic, lol!

  • @Orbot Me too and I just got the Sonic Turbo/Manual hatch. Love it. Ford was sloppy build and less content for the money.

  • @bufbarnaby Lol, I see! I'm still checking out other rides, but the Sonic is definitely a standing feature in my head.

  • I know the msrp for this car is $13,735. But how much would the price bump up with 16in wheels on the LT model, and 17in wheels on the LTZ model? (Ofcourse, I'm feeling the LTZ w/ the 17's lol)

  • @Orbot - I think it can get as high as $18k with all the options (leather, wheels, etc).

  • @reno94587 I figured as much! That's my only draw back on getting this car, the payments would take for ever, but the car seems worth it tho'....sigh, decisions, decisions.

  • @Orbot - If you have good credit, you can get the 0% financing option through GM (make the finance guy give it to you or go to a credit union to do it). They will spread it over 5 years but nowadays places try to make you do 6 years to make the payments more attractive. Pay $500/month and it will be done in probably 3 years at most with a modest downpayment.

  • @reno94587 Thanks man! Wow, u really know ur stuff, very helpful! My credit may be uh...."questionable," lol, but It's definitely not horrendous, so I think they can work with me.

  • @Orbot - Get approved before (within 30 days) you roll to the dealership. Guaranteed you will get a better deal than that rat trap. Good luck! I hope you get it!

  • @reno94587 Thanks again man!

  • This is a rather optimal replacement for that (cough, cough) Aveo!! lol

  • I JUST GOT THIS CAR...( SATURDAY OCT..8..2011 )...ITS A GREAT CAR

  • @cityhen Congrats! I've been eyeing this car since Monday! Me likes, I think I'm gonna go for it! What's the price you're paying on it?

  • Daewoo ? 

  • I don't see this car doing well in the next couple of years or so.

  • @DeadofWinter321 Why is that?

  • @Mds9608 Well the Aveo wasn't good. The Cavalier wasn't good and GM changed it to the Cobalt which was just as bad. GM has never really made good smaller cars.

  • @DeadofWinter321 So you are telling me that you are judging a book by it's cover. Put it this way, the last two gerenations of the Ford focus were not that great also. But the new Focus that Ford had come out with is truly amazing. So by going by your logic, that new Focus must be a POS...

  • @Mds9608 I can prove your theory about the Focus wrong..I have a 2002 Ford Focus with 168k miles and only had one problem with the ignition. Other than that, it's been an excellent car since I got it. Give the Sonic some time though, the new Focus will more than likely have more appeal than this once it ages.

  • @DeadofWinter321 So it's just like my Aunt's Cavalier with 220,000KM, the only major problem they had with that was ignition as well. Also, my cosion has a 2007 Cobalt with 98,000 KM and they had no problems with it so far. Right?

  • @Mds9608 You're lucky then is all I can say. There are only a few select GM models that are good cars.

  • do want :)

    

  • I wish I could sell my truck and buy one of these, but I love my truck too much :P haha

  • Good video. Very thorough and good point of view.

  • @BlackUp77 I agree! More videos of this nature should be as thorough if not more so!

  • You should get a new HD camera to improve the quality.

  • oh its the chevy sonic the hedgehog lol..

  • one criticism, you make your videos WAYYYY too wordy. You could cut 2 minutes off the videos if you simplified your words.

  • does the gas cap cover lock at all?

  • Should be at least 40 MPG highway. Really no reason to get this car.

  • @DrJohnBecker you can get the 6 speed manual 1.4L turbo which might give you 40 mpg if driven right. Time will tell.

  • @DrJohnBecker The 1.4 liter turbo does 40 highway. Its only available with a 6 speed manual as of today but the 6 speed auto is coming.

  • looks stupid with the cut outs for vents that arent there

  • put a mitsubishi badge on the fucker and the haters would be all over it

  • Mitsubishi Lancer by Chevrolet...

  • @clutchmsilvap haha i thought the same too looks exactly like a lancer front end

  • vomit

  • I love the new 2012 Chevy Sonic!

  • @araflygare So do I cant wait to see one in person!

  • actually that's pretty unique. The "3D" headlights.

  • Built in Orion Township, Michigan!

  • @SuperSportSS Designed in South Korea lol

  • your fucking voice is annoying

  • @pun420 Lol, I agree.

  • I thought that the seats were leatherette and not leather

  • haha it's funny... in the US the Chevy Malibu is a normal car.. here in brazil The Malibu

    is just for who have a lot of money.. it cost US$60.000 for us...

  • @hk15 60k ouch! how much does the Spark cost over there?

  • @camaroman101 the spark not yet arrived here. will arrived over here maybe in 2012 the Spark,sonic, and anothers.. but his cost maybe is over US$25.000

    did you know how much is the Camaro V6 here? US$85.000 or US$90.000

  • man ima big fan !! keep doin wat ur doin man !!

  • Is the LTZ the top trim for Chevy?

  • its allright :)

  • It looks good at the front and inside. But the rear end looks bad.

    Does this come with manual transmission??

  • @colla555 yes, and the turbo is only in manual.

  • @colla555 Yes it does. Thankfully! :D

  • This car is ready for the 40 MPG benchmark.

  • Great review Bobby! Although this isn't my kind of car, I have to say I'm very impressed. I really dislike that gauge cluster, but the unique styling cues (vents, lights, etc.), great gas milage, beautiful interior, and the fact that it's American made make this car a winner in my book. Nice work Chevy!

  • Nice review Bobby! I have been looking for one on the Sonic, and was glad I saw yours. What are those weird holes right next to the a/c vents in the center console? They look out of place, like something is missing there.

  • Finally GM now has a chance in the sub-compact class.

  • Hmmm..interesting about the headlight pods not being enclosed. I have a feeling that's going to lead into issues with impact strikes on the corners of the housings as well as being a PIA to clean around them

  • Excellent job on being the first to review. Your getting quick on the trigger in you old age...lol

  • I never heard of this car before lol....Good review though!!! 

  • iv been looking at a hatchback one of theses. its really starting to grow on me.

  • interior looks a little plain and cheap compared to come of its competitors.

  • You have another view before Kyle again. Looking forward to you getting the first close-up view of the 2013 Kia Rio and the Austrailian Chevy Caprice.

  • You have another view before Kyle again. Looking forward to you getting the first close-up view of the 2013 Kia Rio and the Austrailian Chevy Caprice.

  • I CANT BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!

  • That gauge pod is awesome!

  • i live in richardson

  • Its like a Lancer exterior but ugly with a nice quality interior

  • is the LTZ the lowest trim???

  • @androidisbest the highest

  • @androidisbest Nope, LTZ is the top-level, 1LS is the lowest trim.

  • Dude two new cars in a day! Bobby you are awesome!!!! :)

  • @TheOutterRim 2? when did he do u?

  • @androidisbest ohh my bad it's because I just barely saw the Hyundai Veloster today! Just realized that came out on the 17th.

  • I didn't even know that car came out yet

  • FYI it's not leather on the seats. It's some sort of vinyl or leather like material. Also you can get a 6 speed manual with the 1.4l and a 5 speed manual with the base engine. I like the styling of this car and the Sonic recently was named a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS and it has rear seat mounted side impact airbags (one of the few cars in its class to offer them and one of the few cars to have them as standard equipment).

  • Your intros are very repetitive. Change it up a bit!

  • @bufblane1 yes

    

  • does this replace the aveo?

  • this and the Hyundai Veloster looks like they're living in the same neighbourhood

    *angry hamster face*

  • Thanks GrandPrixGTP02. cool looking interior.

  • its funny how VW had that key back in the 90's

  • @bufblane1 yes

  • nice didnt know this car was one does it come with Navigation. love your reviews by the way

  • how much is the ltz modal
